Made of turned and engraved wood, 19th century. This pion, intended for the game of tric-trac (the ancestor of backgammon), is crafted from turned wood and adorned with engravings on both sides. One side features a bust of Louis XV surrounded by inscriptions and floral motifs, while the other depicts a lively hunting scene.

Beyond its playful function, the richness of its decoration gives it both a decorative and commemorative value, reflecting the taste for refined objects in social circles. General condition is fair - See photos.
